Johhny2Bad: The facts: currently hardware is being designed around software when software should be designed around hardware hence the illusion that the OS is boss, but thats half the problem because what we actually have is many manufacturers of hardware AND software hence incompatibility issues which leads to crashing/freezing systems, to solve the problem of incompatibility we have to limit ourselves to one hardware manufacturer and as many OS platforms as u like or vice versa (one OS manufacturer and as many hardware manufacturers as u like) hence the battle for dominance.

This is true and rarely if ever considered by the average computer user. Back in the days before the Windows PC, computers were very hardware specific and the operating system was specific to the chip… A z80 computer used a different disk operating system than an 8080 or an 8085. Commodore 64’s used an OS from Commodore which would work as well on my Commodore 64 as yours because the hardware and software came from the same place.

I think this is something that Apple has considers with their hardware/software products although there are casualties along the way when various hardware pieces become outdated because the OS requires something that is only supported in the new hardware. Mac OS worked up to OS9 with their Power PC G3/G4 products but G3’s ran slow and spotty on anything greater than OS8. The latest OSX is spec’d to work with G4 & G5 computers but to get the most out of it, you better have a dual core Intel system with a whack load of ram. In this way, Apple can ensure that the hardware & software have less trouble than if their OS ran on some generic hardware. That said, I’d still like to hack OSX and run it on my Toshiba Laptop :)

Sorry for going so way off topic but I thought that was an interesting point.

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:16:39 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=3108#comment-51845as for calling people with differing opinions stupid, whose opinion have i said is stupid and who have i called stupid (unless asking or insinuating the possibility that someone may be stupid is actually calling them stupid), i’ve catergorised certain computer users as stupid in a round about way but like i said.. who the cap fits let them wear it.

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:00:20 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=3108#comment-51844rude and condescending… again the name says it all, and if u read my posts properly i said i dont have time to baby people and once again u’ve shown how silly u are, no i never purposely left out 4 bits but if u read properly i go on to say and i quote
“am i being stupid… yes i am”
so im admiting to being silly about the 4 missing bits and then i go on to say, and i quote
“but heres why, because your comment in no why refutes the point i was making so i might as well be as silly about it as u trying to highlight a possible error on my part”
do u get it now.

They didn’t want to engage with you because you’re incapable of having a discussion without being rude, condescending, calling people with differing opinions stupid, fabricating “facts” on the fly, etc… I mean to spin that you purposely left out 4 bits as bait. That’s just weak.

So, when you find that people don’t respond to your posts you might think that you’re clever however, it probably means that they have better things to do and just don’t want to invest.

Peace out!
